Fairy our bodies are playing with us. Did you poas??

Fairygodmother1 · 29/03/2010 20:59

Nope - if nothing comes of this then I will but got a feeling the red tide of doom is arriving soon!

UmBongo · 29/03/2010 22:23

Oh I'm glad I'm not the only one around I was going to see if we could have a tumbleweed emoticon!

I have had a lovely few days with ds who has had d&v since friday afternoon. Haven't been posting - too busy doing laundry!

He chucked up into his breakfast on sat morning and then asked for it back! (the breakfast not the sick)

Good luck fairy may the rtd stay away!

PollyPoo · 30/03/2010 12:30

Hey Bongo, same here - I spent yesterday up to my elbows in pukey sheets and clothes due to Boo erupting like a vomit volcano every half an hour. Yuck! And now the damn tumbledryer has died. Along with the dishwasher. Just waiting for the washing machine now - do I win a prize for 3 of a kind?

We are supposed to be SWI this week as I am due to ov on Fri or Sat. Unfortunately TG has put his back out and we are off to SIL's for the weekend. Where we will be sharing a room with Boo.

Loujalou · 30/03/2010 12:59

I have predicted baby fail and I had sex and am on 2 week wait from hell.

Did feel like something was tugging in the wombular area but think I might have imagined it..... Don't think I will win a prize for positive thinking from my hypno lady.

Sorry to hear about all the puking.

My DS is 2 today. Feeling a bit sentimental. Thought I would have been duffed by now.

Icedlemonmuffin · 30/03/2010 13:11

hello im now on cycle 12 will be swi in a few days aarrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

My dd was sick at the weekend but was staying overnight at mil so I escaped the overnight puking session.

Polly I feel for you first it was my washing machine then the oven and then my mobile! I was crying down the phone to dh about how I couldnt cope if anything else decided to break.

Lou happy birthday to your ds, dont forget to pass round the cake.

Happy Birthday to Adi!!

Oh hell.... I had not even contemplated how I would feel if not up the duff by Boo's 3rd birthday (July). Reaching her 2nd one was bad enough as that marked a year.

Lou I have been listening to the hypno CD every day but I just cannot stay awake through it... I don't even wake up at the end when she says 'and when I count to 3 you will open your eyes feeling refreshed yada yada yada' so I doubt very much it is having any effect. Well it is certainly not making me want to SFF or SWI anyway... Gah.

Loujalou · 30/03/2010 16:34

Adi is in hysterics as my brother is making him laugh by going BOO!! So cute. Makes me even more broody. Well TH has done his sperm sample. How does it work do the doctors get in touch with you once the results have come through or do you need to phone and arrange an appointment.

Got my day 21 bloods. Can only do it on day 23 though as we have been away and today is the little mans birthday and have to work from my mum's and he has only just awoken.

Fairygodmother1 · 30/03/2010 18:53

Hi ya - RTD will be in full gush tomorrow! All that SWI. We have sex more now than we had when we were first dating! lol. Just not spontaneous now.

Not sure how I feel. It feels like it's never gonna happen naturally!

So bloody unfair!

UmBongo · 30/03/2010 23:10

Hi Lou, dh was told to book an appt to get his results and didn't, expecting in his way, that someone would contact him! After 3-4 weeks I gave in and told him to get his arse down to the quacks to get the results. My doc, told me when to go in for my bloods and when to book a return appt to discuss results, which I did, without believing that someone would ring me, like dh did

Glad I am not the only one dealing with puke, I am putting off going to bed as it means that I have to check on ds and find out if I need to spend the next 30 mins sorting out pukey boy and bed! He has been fine today so hopefully we are finished with that! It was his birthday too last week!

Loujalou · 31/03/2010 10:22

Argh went to drop in centre for blood tests and cried as the clinic wasn't until later. Mmmmm... maybe PMT.

Fairy even if you don't manage to have a baby naturally I am sure when it does come it will be worth the wait and all will be forgotten (well hopefully).

Fairy we have a lot of 'work sex' ,when we got together we bothed lived at home and sex in his small car got a bit difficult,so we have more sex now than when we got together(some months more than others).

Tried pre seed last month thinking of getting zestica this month, does anyone know if one is better than the other!

Zestica is a sperm friendly lubricant! No need to warm up

Love warm cookies thanks

OP posts:
PollyPoo · 31/03/2010 14:03

Mmm I love warm doughy cookies, nom nom nom, they are the best. Crunchy cookies are just wrong!

I tried some preseed but TG wasn't keen, but I think I may have used too much...

Lou how are doing after your tears this morning? I hope you manage to get your bloods done this avo.

I'm off to bed in a mo, Boo will sleep for a good couple of hours and I am shattered. Still, the puking is at an end and it seems the other end is drying up too. Huzzah!

Loujalou · 31/03/2010 14:24

Had my bloods done all ok. Had an appointment already booked (long and pointless story).

Just got cramps today. According to FF 20% of people who get a positive have cramps at this point in their cycle. So maybe in with a chance.

Woo hoo to kids still napping. My friend's DD still naps at 3 and a half. Adi is having a nice nap now. Wish I could have slept. Pol at least Boo is getting better.

Zestica didn't seem to work for me but then not sure i am particularly dry (if you get my drift).

Snatches the whole plate of cookies. Yummy!

Fairygodmother1 · 31/03/2010 19:43

Thanks for making me smile Lou think I'm just down at the mo - endofterm-itus!

Lucy there's a virus making it's way down the country I think. Thanks for the cookies.

Loujalou · 31/03/2010 20:52

Anyway I have managed to sneak in a basketful of chocolate eggs seeing as its Easter.

Thinking of changing my nickname - not to anything Eastery just something better. Mmmmm... Any suggestions.

Just trying to get myself out of pit of despair was sobbing to hubby and oh well.... Just convinced I will never have another child and that makes me so sad. Also not helping now Arsenal are losing

PollyPoo · 31/03/2010 22:58

Ok, so I was wrong about the puking finishing, poor love had only been in bed 10 minutes before she threw up everywhere. Damn, why did the bloody tumble dryer have to break down now?

TG has a friend round who says his DS had this bug for a week. Boo started throwing up on Sunday night so it looks like we are about half way through. Fuck it! I am tempted to fall off the wagon and into the vodka....

UmBongo · 31/03/2010 23:12

Hi Polly, ds was sick from 4pm Friday to monday at breakfast, I think we are now clear. Hang on in there - with the aid of the vodka! You might be at the end of it!

Sorry you are Lou Good luck at finding the ladder out of the pit! I think I have found a ladder, but it has very slippy bits on it and I keep slithering down again. (maybe it keeps turning into a snake!) I also have mostly convinced myself that ds is going to be an only child and that is very Ho Hum.

Loujalou · 01/04/2010 08:28

Poor Boo. That sounds horrid. We have never had puking with Adi. Fingers crossed that holds out for a while longer.

Vodka is good though my new best drinking friend is JD with coke. Am out on Saturday night so think I might have a few. I am sure I read somewhere that if you are pregnant its not til the 6th week that the baby gets nutrients.

You do know when we all get pregnant that we will be complaining about lack of sleep and all the other bits .

UmBongo · 01/04/2010 18:09

What, No puking - oh that is soooo last year dahrling! Its all the rage these days!

Feel free to remind me of this if I ever do win a baby, But I feel like I could even look forward to getting up 3 times a night to pee! Did manage swi last night though.

Fairygodmother1 · 01/04/2010 19:54

Umbongo I'd be totally happy for wee 3 times a night, bad back, uncomfortable night sleep, morning sickness, sore boobs, growing out of my clothes, etc!

Loujalou · 02/04/2010 10:08

Fairy you won't catch me complaining when I am pregnant. Oh No. Ok maybe a little. When we all get pregnant we should meet up an compare bumps. See am being PMA today even though I feel like the witch is on its way. Acupuncturist says I need to be more patient.
